What do you invest in? I try to spread my investments out. You know, don't carry all your eggs in one basket.

I want to invest in a local business. Like a shop or a small store--something like that.

I know it's good to spread out, but I like to have a lot of stake in one company so I can focus all my attention on that.

I don't really invest anything now but I would try to diversify if possible especially if it's a big one, currently thinking of investing some online business or something.

I invest in share market . Besides i also trade in forex. I prefer rotating the money rather than keeping them in the bank.

i thinking investing in upcoming businesses is a good idea like investing in start up companies is a good way to rise through the floors of success.

But don't u think it is much more risky ?? Moreover startup business require funding several times(making it a big sum) before generating any return ...

yes thats true but risk is always there even if you are crossing the road to get to the other side,so for safety we can sit back at our home and enjoy,risk taking is part of life.

well, what you are saying is for people who belongs to opulent class i.e one who already have enough fund to take risk and invest anywhere sitting at home . But what about working people , like us who like to earn some more bucks, investing small amount somewhere.

well my friend this is what some of the business magnets did,we have to take some risks for moving to the next level and to become an opulent.yes there is a chance that you might loose your savings but if you do make big,its all good at the end of the day.

Mate , you are not getting me . Risk is fine but what if one don't have enough money to invest. You are looking from the perspective where people, have enough money to invest and take any kind of risk , not from the point of common people.

yes but this is the case study,i think this is the best option for me,generally people want safety as a priority but when you want to speed things up,you have to take the risks.sometimes it gives negative results too but atleast you know that you tried.

It is because, you have at least bucks, money to venture so you can take a risk. Not everybody have the same position, thats what i mean.

yes i get it,but i do not have that much right now,i am also earning so that i can have enough to invest,but as soon as i'll have it,i will invest it,the result of the investment will be clear with time whether its a success or a failure.

No. I don't but i still invest in some proportion in shares and other stuff, whatever I save at the end of the month. I simply don't like keeping the money in banks.

well thats a good plan too, working in shares is a good option but i thinking working on start ups is my calling and you should pay attention to your calling.

I will surely try. How much generally one need to have, to invest in startups ?? Do you have any idea ??

well that depends on which field you are choosing but having 50,000$ is a good investment to head start for a good company then within next 3 years you can build up.

Thanks for the information mate . Will give a thought surely..

you are welcome,best of luck for your investment,hope you have loads of good returns.

I admire some of you guys here seems to have good amount of money to invest in stocks and such, but right now I'm getting there and hopefully we all will succeed as nowadays business and such tends to be risky, kinda hard to predict.

No, its not that . Just whatever i save , I invest those in shares. Had a good return from them, so I am reinvesting those bucks again and again, thus making an amount.

yes the trends are hard to predict but yes you will succeed if you have a good plan but nothing can be said with 100% surety,but i am earning the money at the moment i don't have the required amount but i am trying,and we all are,hope that we all see each other on the top sides of our fields.

Just remember , Trends is your friends. If you really want to make bucks in share or forex , follow the trend with your research.

I invested in high-end fashion and luxury products and export to US, Europe and Asia. It starts to get interesting now after about 4 years!

I haven't really invested in Brazil yet... it seems like you have to jump through a lot of hoops. Plus, Brazil seems pretty socialistic and anti-business friendly, and you can be scammed by Brazilians if you don't watch out. So, all my investments are elsewhere for now.

I invest in stocks, gold and domains.

Right now most of my investments are in savings bonds in the United States, but I'm starting to get a bit scared of that!

I heard currency exchange is a good investment... how do you do this?
